Bryant Gumbel is currently hospitalized in NYC after some sort of "medical emergency" ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us, the former "Today" cohost was transported Monday, just after 9 PM, from his Manhattan apartment building.

We're told first responders had Bryant on a gurney, as they left the building and took him to a nearby hospital where he remains as of Tuesday afternoon.

It's unclear what happened to the 77-year-old broadcasting legend, but we know he is still getting treatment. We've reached out to his reps for comment ... so far, no word back.

We spoke to a family member, who told us Bryant is "okay," but wouldn't reveal any further detail about his condition.

Bryant formerly served as cohost of NBC's long-running morning show for 15 years -- first with Jane Pauley and Katie Couric. He was also a sportscaster and host of HBO's acclaimed investigative series "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel".

Celebrities and rich people living in and owning apartments is not at all uncommon in New York City.

In NYC apartments are fabulous and of course spme are condos.
Gloria Vanderbilt lived in one on Fifth Avenue. 18th floor apartment with a view of Central Park. Friends of mine had a really nice one on Central Park West. Inherited money too. I loved staying with them when I visited NYC.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to that smarmy SOB.

Bryant may be a swarmy annoying jerk, maybe he's working on that in his retirement. At least he's been quiet!

Speaking of which, I did come across this entertaining bit: when BG retired from NBC's Today Show, Prince made a surprise visit to the studio, where he dressed up as Bryant and played a couple of songs. It was a nice gesture, and a fun watch:
